A single web page with all of its graphical/video/whirly-twirly bling can amount to many megabytes. My EVDO app gives a usage report. I only use the service when out of town to basically stay in touch. The week I spent at the NAB convention in April racked up over 2 GB of usage. That's using the computer in the hotel room in the morning and late in the evening since I didn't take it with me to the convention center. It was all from web activity (mainly checking on orders and products I was investigating at the convention), email, Usenet, and some home network administration. That's it. Cap primary connections at 5GB/month? A lot of people are going to be hurting, big time. -- John Higdon +1 408 ANdrews 6-4400
